Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As of today it's not possible to add a Group Folder as a Collective folder. Well, it works, but it creates a lot of "dust" and bugs out from time to time.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make it possible to make the Collectives root a Group Folder

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using a regular shared folder, but it's not optimal as you loose the ACLs that Group Folders bring.

Additional context
For Enterprise users this would be a very nice addition!

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how the Collectives root is created and how Group Folder ACLs are handled. Done means the root can be a Group Folder without the reported dust or intermittent bugs, with regression coverage added where the existing behavior is tested.
